A hint of licorice on the nose, nut and wood flavor, finish is sweet wood. It is all very subtle, as is the case with the high-end Santiago de Cuba series. There is a chance you won't instantly like it unlike the sweet Solera rums, but it is worth it.

better than all other rums in this Price class... Cuba style... fruty, smooth and just amazing!

I found the nose of brown sugar and light vanilla. Light on the tongue.After taste is vanilla with a feel of velvet. Smooth through out. Very light tabaco notes. Something worth a try. Lots of brown sugar after notes with a light burn.

Great rich amber in the glass.
The nose is very pleasantly soft, a colorful fruit mix on a shipspace with delicate caramel nuances.
On the palate, quite pleasant, candied fruits, burnt caramel, delicate oak. But then the flavors are sprinkled with a sharp alcohol lance. A quite interesting ride in the roller coaster.
In the finish long and nice, sweet with lots of caramel

Good flavor but way over priced

Tried the Santiago de Cuba 20 year old rum during my last trip to Havana and the most surprising fact with the smell and taste is that it's very close to the 11 and 12 year olds, but there is a massive price difference. Traditional Cuban flavors and a bit of a burn at the end, so not that bad at all, pity that it is way over priced for its quality.

I tried this one out in the summer of 2014 in paladar in Havana, Cuba. I was happily surprised by the great taste of this rum.

This one got me surpriced.. I didn´t think to much of it when i saw the bottle.. But allready when i got the full body of the sniff i was tempted to taste.. And the taste. Full and rich. Free from etanol. Long lasting and dark. This one will enter my permanent collection.
